1. adhesion - e. the attraction of molecules to even slightly and variably charged

solid surfaces

 

a. the amount of small open spaces in an Earth material

 

2. anthropogenic - t. a distinct site of water pollution

 

b. produced or caused by humans

 

3. aquifer - i. the amount of oxygen that is dissolved into a sample of water

 

c. the depth at which ground water completely saturates and fills all

voids and fractures in rocks and other Earth materials

 

4. cohesion - v. the attraction of a certain type of molecules to other similar molecules

 

 

5. confined aquifer - q. an aquifer that receives water only from specific recharge areas

 

and is separated from the surface by impermeable zones over large

 

parts of its area

 

 

6. DO -

 

f. an aquifer that can receive water percolating down from Earth’s

surface throughout the area where it occurs

 

7. fecal coliform bacteria - k. intestinal microorganisms that are excreted from warm-blooded

 

animals with their feces

 

 

g. a measure of how acidic or basic a sample is

 

8. frost action - d. the process of water freezing underground

 

 

 

 

9. nitrate - m. a compound that contains the element phosphorous and that is

 

commonly used as a measure of water quality

 

 

 

10. non-point source j. a source that contributes water pollution from a large area

 

11. permeability - u. a measure of how well a fluid such as water can flow through a

solid

 

 

 

12. pH - g. a measure of how acidic or basic a sample is

 

 

l. the pressure and temperature conditions that allow all three phases

 

of a substance to occur simultaneously

 

13. phosphate -

 

13. point source -

 

14. porosity -

 

o. a compound resulting from a nitrogen compound reacting with oxygen

 

or ozone and that is commonly used as a measure of water

 

quality

 

15. recharge area

 

16. siltation - n. an area where precipitation can soak into the ground and become

part of the ground water system

 

 

17. surface subsidence - h. sediment deposition in reservoirs

 

 r. the sinking of a land surface that occurs when ground water is

 

withdrawn, causing the silt and clay of the land surface to become

 

compressed

18. triple point -

s. a place below the water table that has good porosity and permeability

19. unconfined aquifer - f. an aquifer that can receive water percolating down from Earth’s

surface throughout the area where it occurs

 

20. water table -

 

21. wetland - p. an area where water is present for all or most of the year and

where aquatic plants are abundant

  hahahahahaha!!!!

 scicne ROCKS     =)

     GO BLUE WHALES WHOOP WHOOOOP

i am soooo bored!!!!
